QDA Chapter 7
Chap 7
Heero and the team were heading the space fortress of L6 colony now. Wufei's ankle still throbbed from when Quatre had broken it but it was healing quickly. That was a good thing since they needed all the help they could get. It was 5 days since they had seen Quatre's assassination and Duo was still very upset. He was in total denial that the Arabian was dead.
Duo cracked his knuckles as he sat in the pilot seat of Deathsycthe. "Well, Shinigami, it looks like you and I are going to send some people to Hell." He snickered in amusement as the 4 shuttles continued it accent into space.
Heero's screen blipped on and Relena's face was on the screen. Heero raised an eyebrow. "What do you want?" He asked impatiently.
"Heero, please be careful. I have this really bad feeling! I know it! I want you to come back to me safely." Relena looked at Heero dead in the eyes. "I am serious. You almost killed your self once. I don't want it to happen again!"
Heero shrugged. "I do what needs to be done to complete a mission, that is all there is to it! If I die then I die."
Relena smirked. "If that is the way you are going to be I have a mission for you. You have to stay alive and come back to the earth. Failing this mission could get you in some SERIOUS trouble." Relena winked.
Heero rolled his eyes and actually smiled. "Yeah sure. Whatever the queen wants."
The daughter of Peacecraft groaned. "Heero Yuy, you know very well I hate it when you call me that," Heero just smiled and shut off his screen. He sat back in his chair and concentrated on the enemy.
Wufei was in his meditating mode. Trowa had been very silent since Quatre's death. He was taking it very hard. He felt a lot of it was all his fault.
"I should have stayed with him…I should have made sure he didn't go back on the Zero system. And now there is nothing I can do to bring him back. If I could see him again I would do things right the next time around. But that wont happen…"
* * * * * * * * * *
Meanwhile, back on earth, the Maguanacs were playing a card game to try to take their minds off the horrible chain of events. Dorothy waltzed in with Sally Po and began to scold the middle-aged group of men.
"What do you think you are doing we are in the center of another war and all you can do is play cards?!" she swapped the deck away from Adul and slammed her palms down on the tabletop. "Avenge the death of Winner! Go out there and fight!"
Sally put a hand on Dorothy's shoulder and gave a sympathetic smile. "I know you are upset about what you did to Quatre and you wanted to make it up…but we can't do that now. Dorothy, Quatre wouldn't want to see you sad like this. Let's make the best of the situation and try to-"
Suddenly one of the Maguanacs guarding the perimeter came rushing in with a young looking girl in his arms. Sally shot up. "Who is that?! She needs some extensive care and fast! Quick, take her upstairs, I'll heal her up!"
The Maguanac obeyed the orders and took her upstairs. Dorothy grabbed Sally's coat. "Ms. Sally, let me help you please…"
Sally thought for a moment then smirked. "Alright, come on then, you can help me out as long as you don't use my tools as a fencing foil!" she gave a little laugh and Dorothy just shrugged and followed her up the stairs.
They found the Maguanac and the girl up in Quatre's room on his bed. The Maguanac soldier was very pale. "Sally, there was a large jet that came near the port and a man gave us this girl and left…she keeps speaking about Quatre Sama…and that we had to save him!"
Sally gasped. "Does this mean…"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After 4 hours of surgery and extensive care, the girl was beginning to come around. Sally diagnosed her with a fractured hip and severe trauma to head that was downgrade to light. Sally found it odd that the blow was made at the chest and she had those kind of injuries. The girl had managed to sit up and Sally began to question her with Dorothy sitting in a chair against the wall.
Sally started. "Miss? What is your name?"
"Nikore…"
"Okay, Nikore where are you from?"
"The L 6 colony…"
Dorothy and Sally exchanged glances and Sally continued:
"Tell me, did you meet Quatre there?"
"Yes, Quatre was shot…they shot him, gasp I had to save him."
"Were you a doctor or something? What exactly happened to get you in the state your in?"
Nikore explained the whole terrible mishap that happened on the satellite and what was happening to Quatre. She pulled out a cracked but still stable vile from here coat.
"I was making an antidote for his condition…but I don't know if I am making it the proper way…"
Dorothy raised an eyebrow. "I was trying to make Winner an antidote too…who are you exactly?"
"I am Quatre's sister."
Sally looked at her strangely. "But aren't all of Quatre's sisters test tube babies?"
"Yes…"
Sally Po looked her straight in the eyes. "You are not a test tube baby."
* * * * * * * * * *
Debiru found himself making his way down a long corridor. Quatre who had passed out within the subconscious woke up in his dazed state.
::Uh? Where are you going? What are you doing now?::
"Ah, I see your awake, I suppose you don't know what I have done?"
Quatre jumped up. :: WHAT!? What have you done now?::
"Oh nothing that you might regret yet. For one thing I sent your weak Gundam Sandrock back to the earth." Debiru opened a door and entered a dark room.
:: Huh? Why?::
"Because it is not necessary, Sandrock is a weak Gundam…" Debiru turned on a light switch. "Compared to the Epyon Custom."
Quatre gawked at the Epyon not believing the size of the huge Gundam, it was 10% larger than the older version and seemed to have more enhancements. :: No way, your going to use this Gundam in battle? We both know this Gundam probably still has the zero system in it! ::
"I know, that is the point, the more advantages I have in battle the better chance I have to win. Remember, I am controlling your body, and if your body gives out, not only do I die, you die."
:: I'd rather die than to be apart of your sick little game!:: Quatre yelled. :: Don't you dare hurt my friends! Or I will find a way to kill us both! ::
Debiru snickered as he began to put on a space suit. "You easily forget who is the one in charge here. I have control of your body."
Quatre replied: :I don't care; I'll kill us both! I swear I will! And you KNOW I will! ::
"Shut up, boy! You obviously can't deal with the fact that you're being used in the destruction of earth! Deal with it, because there is nothing you can do about"
Quatre sighed. He thought sadly to himself: He's right; I am too weak right now to do anything, but as soon as I get my strength back…
Quatre clenched his fist.
"Well? Are you ready?" asked Debiru. "We are about to go in battle." Debiru climbed into the Epyon with a small smirk on his face. "It's gonna be an all out massacre!"
Quatre laid on the floor. :: I am not going to watch any of this. ::
Debiru put on the helmet and sighed. "Have it your way, your missing out on all the fun" he snickered and started up the Gundam. The hangar out into space opened and Epyon went outside. But he decided to have some fun first.
"Hey, boy, watch this!"
Quatre lifted his head slowly and turned around. Epyon floated above the L6 satellite. It lifted a huge canon and aimed straight at the satellite. Quatre shot up and spun around.
:: NO! What do you think your doing? Stop it! ::
But it was too late, the beam canon fired right at the heart of the satellite, destroying it and every civilian on it. Quatre cried out in shock. :: No…how could you? All those innocent people, they never did anything to you! ::
"Well, what's done is done! I killed them all because I wanted to, the fewer humans to rebel the better. And that is what I am going to do to your friends!"
:: No!:: cried Quatre rushing forward. :: I wont let you! :: he accidentally laid his hands upon the electrical bars and got a powerful jolt that knock him back into an unconscious state.
Debiru chuckled. "Finally, that shut him up, but if I know him, he'll wake up at just the worst time. I had to be in this body didn't I? Oh well, at least I have what I want, now I can begin the destruction of the earth and the colonies."
Chap 8
Yep folks, Chap 8, sorry bout the delay!
Dorothy and Nikore were working in a lab trying to work on the antidote for Quatre's condition. Meanwhile Nikore can't believe what Sally had told her…
"Your not Quatre's sister,"
"What? How can that be?" Nikore had asked.
"I don't, all I know is that neither of you are test tube children. I don't know how you got to think you were his sister, but things happen. I guess maybe you should try to go home now."
Nikore quickly refused. "No! I am going to stay here and help ms. Dorothy make a cure for Quatre!"
Dorothy seemed amused at the girls' determination and allowed her to help. The went long into the night testing Dorothy's technology of the Zero System and Nikore's skill of therapy and medicine. It seemed so useless, but luckily, Nikore had a blood sample of Quatre's system, which helped quite a lot.
They didn't know if Quatre would still be alive by the time they finished making the serum, they could only pray. Sally just prayed he didn't go killing the other Gundam pilots either…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"THERE'S TOO MANY!" Duo's voice crackled over the sound of blasting and explosions. "I can't take this anymore!"
Heero responded to his partner, "Keep going Duo! If we don't do this now we wont get a second chance! It's now or never!!"
Duo bit his lip in determination. "We're gonna die man…." He kept fighting against the troops but it was 200 against one, and Duo couldn't handle it. Seven MS surrounded him and a Taurus shot away his Scythe. He began to use his missiles but they quickly ran out. He lowered hi head in defeat. "K'so…I really don't like to be defeated this early in the battle…Alright! Alright! Get it over with then!"
The Taurus lifted its gigantic beam cannon and got ready to fire when all of a sudden a huge blast disintegrated nearly all the MS and came dangerously close to Deathscythe Hell. Duo spun in his seat to see a huge Gundam zoom past him. His eyes widen. "That…that looked like Epyon! Could that be Zechs?"
It wasn't Zechs…
Debiru cursed Quatre, "Stop trying to fight me…I really don't care if your friends are spared, they'll die by my hands too!"
Quatre strained to fight him. ::I wont…let…you!:: he groaned. Quatre had manages to gain control longer so that the beam wouldn't hit Duo. He had used up a lot of his energy and he was already very weak. But he was determined to stop him, and he already knew he was going to die. He decided it was the only way.
Nothing was going to change his mind.
Duo switched on his com link. "Oi! Minna! Epyon just flew past here! I have no clue who's piloting that thing!"
Heero blinked as he destroyed a MD. "Keep a look out for it. We can't trust anyone!" Everyone agreed and went back to destroying as many suits as they could. They couldn't get anywhere near the colony to destroy it!
Trowa knew if Quatre had been there he would have thought of a plan. He shook his head and went back to his mass murder spree. He was curious about Epyon though, and as everyone thought, it must have been Zechs.
Trowa didn't see the huge beam coming at him. It was aimed right at Heavyarms' hatch. He braced for a deadly impact but saw the Epyon suit guarding him from danger. There was a sudden scream on his COM link heard from the Epyon and Trowa knew that voice anywhere. "Qua-Quatre?" he stuttered.
Quatre's face blipped on the screen, he was sweating madly and had a dark look on he face. Quatre was straining…
"Quatre, what's wrong with you? Why are you-"
Quatre snapped his head up and looked at Trowa straight in the eyes. "Trowa! Get away from me!" He interrupted. "I'm not Quatre…I don't know who I am anymore or what I'll do!" He lowered his head shutting his eyes tightly. He glared at Trowa and yelled. "Trowa! Kill me! Kill me now!"
Trowa was shocked. "Quatre! I…I cant kill you!" "Trowa just do-Ahhh!" He held his head, eyes glowing madly. Trowa watched Quatre going nuts in the Epyon. "Quatre, are you okay?"
Quatre glared at him with vicious eyes. Epyon slammed into Heavyarms causing it to reel back Violently. "Quatre!" Yelled Trowa stunned. Epyon raced away destroying any MS in his path. "That…that wasn't Quatre…"
Trowa turned on his COM link. "Heero, Duo, Wufei…Quatre is alive…
Wufei answered the call first. "Stop lying Barton, you're delusional. Now is NOT the time to start joking." As he said that a MD blasted Altron from behind. "DAMMIT!" Cursed Wufei breaking his link off.
Duo called in next. "It's okay Trowa man…I know your still upset about Quatre-"
Trowa quickly interrupted. "I'm not lying Duo! He's the one piloting Epyon!"
"Na…NANI?? Quatre's in there?" Trowa nodded. "He…He's not dead! Alright!"
Trowa looked down at his gauge, it was fine, no need for refueling...but that was not on his mind. "Duo…that wasn't Quatre…"
Duo stopped his cheering. "What do you mean Trowa? I mean you SAW him right?"
"Yeah, I SAW him…"
"Then what's the deal? Trowa… he still… you know…"
Trowa only answered with a simple nod. "But it's much worse…he cant control himself at all. If were not careful he'll kill us…or himself for that matter."
"Kill…himself?"
"He knows he's a danger to us, and he thinks that him being here is going to be more trouble than help."
"But I know we can save him! We just have to get him to earth!" Said Duo full of determination. "All me gotta do is get him to some psychiatrist and he'll be…" He noticed a look of failure on Trowa's face. "That bad huh?"
Trowa didn't reply.
Duo was stubborn. "Come on man, we cant give up now! We found out he's not dead, so that's a good start…"
"HEY YOU TWO!" Yelled Wufei rudely. "MOVE YOUR @$$ES OR YOUR GONNA GET SHOT!"
"K'so!" cursed Duo. "There's still too freak in many of them! And we still gotta destroy the colony! Where's Heero?"
"All the way on the other side! He's trying to get some detonators around the base but he needs back up! Hurry up you two and get over there!"
Duo groaned. "Hai Hai…Trowa, I promise well get Quatre back." Trowa nodded and they followed the Chinese pilot.
Meanwhile Quatre was hiding Epyon behind a large asteroid holding his head painfully. "Make it stop," he begged, "Make it stop!" He didn't want to hurt his fellow pilots so he tried to stay as far away from them as he could. Inside his mind raged a fight between himself and Debiru. He was losing terribly.
Quatre wasn't physically strong, but Debiru had the strength of a Gundam and was pounding him hard to knock him out and take control again. After a few good punches he was knocked cold into the ground. His control was lost and Debiru decided now was his chance to go after Heero.
Quatre groaned the word Heero and passed out…
Epyon zoomed out to find Wing Zero killing anything in its path. Debiru was malicious and without mercy. All on his mind was blood and death. After Heero he decided Trowa would suffer…then Wufei because he found him annoying, and finally Duo who he thought should be tortured just to make Quatre suffer all the worse.
Epyon had caught up to the other pilots and zipped past them not giving a damn. He was after Heero. He had concluded without Heero the group would fall apart…
"Quatre!" Exclaimed Duo.
"Winner is in that?! I can't imagine a weakling like him piloting something like that!"
"Shut up Wufei!" Trowa demanded defending Quatre. "He's not someone you should take lightly especially in his condition! I wouldn't cross him if I were you! Remember he ALMOST broke your leg!"
Wufei was quiet…
"That's better…"
Duo called out "You guys! I think he's after Heero! We gotta warn him!"
"His COM links off!" Exclaimed Wufei.
"Crap, he must have thought any interruptions would fail his mission!" Trowa concluded
"We can't catch up to Epyon! It's too fast!" Duo said.
"We have to capture Quatre at any cost. I don't care if we gotta blast him outta space!"
Trowa quickly objected. "We're NOT going to hurt him!"
"Come on man! Be reasonable! This isn't sweet little pacifist Quatre we're talking about here!" Duo reminded Trowa.
"I guess your right…"
That was the end of that and they set off after Epyon.

Meanwhile back at Maguanac HQ…
Nikore got a bad feeling…
Dorothy held up a syringe. "Ms. Winner! We finished! All we have to do is keep giving him this antidote and he'll be fine… Ms. Winner?"
"Dorothy San…I got a really bad feeling, we need to get to space! I think Quatre is in serious danger!"
Dorothy was a bit skeptical but soon agreed. "I'll have Noin transfer us to space. We'll get a COM link to the pilots and see if he's there."
It was agreed, and they headed off towards space with the antidote that might save Quatre from himself.
It's too bad they would be too late…
Okay, As I said, I am taking a small break from this fic, i sucked my intrest out of it but when I get it back, i'll start working on it again. Until then I'll be trying to make other fics ^^

Heero shrugged. "I do what needs to be done to complete a mission, that is all there is to it! If I die then I die."
Relena smirked. "If that is the way you are going to be I have a mission for you. You have to stay alive and come back to the earth. Failing this mission could get you in some SERIOUS trouble." Relena winked.

Trowa only answered with a simple nod. "But it's much worse…he cant control himself at all. If were not careful he'll kill us…or himself for that matter."
"Kill…himself?"
"He knows he's a danger to us, and he thinks that him being here is going to be more trouble than help."
"But I know we can save him! We just have to get him to earth!" Said Duo full of determination. "All me gotta do is get him to some psychiatrist and he'll be…" He noticed a look of failure on Trowa's face. "That bad huh?"
Trowa didn't reply.
Duo was stubborn. "Come on man, we cant give up now! We found out he's not dead, so that's a good start…"
"HEY YOU TWO!" Yelled Wufei rudely. "MOVE YOUR @$$ES OR YOUR GONNA GET SHOT!"
"K'so!" cursed Duo. "There's still too freak in many of them! And we still gotta destroy the colony! Where's Heero?"
"All the way on the other side! He's trying to get some detonators around the base but he needs back up! Hurry up you two and get over there!"
Duo groaned. "Hai Hai…Trowa, I promise well get Quatre back." Trowa nodded and they followed the Chinese pilot.
Meanwhile Quatre was hiding Epyon behind a large asteroid holding his head painfully. "Make it stop," he begged, "Make it stop!" He didn't want to hurt his fellow pilots so he tried to stay as far away from them as he could. Inside his mind raged a fight between himself and Debiru. He was losing terribly.
Quatre wasn't physically strong, but Debiru had the strength of a Gundam and was pounding him hard to knock him out and take control again. After a few good punches he was knocked cold into the ground. His control was lost and Debiru decided now was his chance to go after Heero.
Quatre groaned the word Heero and passed out…
Epyon zoomed out to find Wing Zero killing anything in its path. Debiru was malicious and without mercy. All on his mind was blood and death. After Heero he decided Trowa would suffer…then Wufei because he found him annoying, and finally Duo who he thought should be tortured just to make Quatre suffer all the worse.
Epyon had caught up to the other pilots and zipped past them not giving a damn. He was after Heero. He had concluded without Heero the group would fall apart…
"Quatre!" Exclaimed Duo.
"Winner is in that?! I can't imagine a weakling like him piloting something like that!"
"Shut up Wufei!" Trowa demanded defending Quatre. "He's not someone you should take lightly especially in his condition! I wouldn't cross him if I were you! Remember he ALMOST broke your leg!"
Wufei was quiet…
"That's better…"
Duo called out "You guys! I think he's after Heero! We gotta warn him!"
"His COM links off!" Exclaimed Wufei.
"Crap, he must have thought any interruptions would fail his mission!" Trowa concluded
"We can't catch up to Epyon! It's too fast!" Duo said.
"We have to capture Quatre at any cost. I don't care if we gotta blast him outta space!"
Trowa quickly objected. "We're NOT going to hurt him!"
"Come on man! Be reasonable! This isn't sweet little pacifist Quatre we're talking about here!" Duo reminded Trowa.
"I guess your right…"
That was the end of that and they set off after Epyon.

Meanwhile back at Maguanac HQ…
Nikore got a bad feeling…
Dorothy held up a syringe. "Ms. Winner! We finished! All we have to do is keep giving him this antidote and he'll be fine… Ms. Winner?"
"Dorothy San…I got a really bad feeling, we need to get to space! I think Quatre is in serious danger!"
Dorothy was a bit skeptical but soon agreed. "I'll have Noin transfer us to space. We'll get a COM link to the pilots and see if he's there."
It was agreed, and they headed off towards space with the antidote that might save Quatre from himself.
It's too bad they would be too late…
